1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Background: Laparoscopic and robotic-assisted sacrocolpopexy are established techniques for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) repair, but their performance in patients with higher age, BMI, and parity remains underexplored. Methods: In this retrospective single-center study, we analyzed 162 women undergoing minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy between 2010 and 2023: Results: Mean patient age was 64 ± 11.2 years. Surgical duration increased significantly with BMI (+2.82 min/unit, 95% CI: 0.50, 5.14, Conclusion: Robotic-assisted sacrocolpopexy appears to offer greater procedural consistency in patients with advanced age, obesity, and higher parity. These findings support the selective use of robotic assistance in anatomically or clinically complex cases and add to the limited evidence guiding personalized surgical planning in POP repair.
